Just so everyone knows, the country "Shamar" in this story is the Sonic Earth equivalent of the Soviet Union. The map I'm using is "SonicSeriesWorldMap" by SmashBits.

SilverxCristal Thanks for your support. I've seen your artworks before and they look nice and sweet. You keep up your good work there.

Infinite's POV

Next time I saw that kid, I was gonna strangle him for his lies. Being lied to in a serious situation is a really horrible feeling. What would take him so long? Argh...

I know it won't be long until my fellow jackals come and breaks me out of this horrid place. I know I can always count on them to get a job done when needed. They're quite dependable, I must say. Once I'm out, 'Gadget' or whatever his name is, is on our hit list next.

"Order up!" Someone shouted, which snapped me out of my thoughts and plans. I leaned over and looked to the left and saw a jeep park. Two people exited the vehicle and approached us. The way they were approaching us was... sinister. I don't like it.

They were two human men, one was wearing a very rich military outfit. The other was wearing an officer hat with a grey suit and a utility belt.

They walked by me and stopped at the middle of our line. "So, are these men all from the United Federation?" The man in the military outfit asked.

"That is correct. They are a... unique bunch being here." The other said as they looked at us, walking back and forth now.

"Well, welcome to Shamar, you sorry weasels." He walked by me. I kept still and quiet. "During the war, all of you betrayed everyone in the Resistance pact by joining Mr. Robotnik. Because your government is too weak to hold a few prisoners, you've been sent here." He explained. War?

"Here at this institution, no mercy is shown. You will work and follow my orders, or die. We are not soft here in Shamar." The other guy said. I guess he's the prison warden.

"I knew y'all would be scum!" One of us said. To the right, a guy, a human roughly in his 20s, stepped out of line and confronted the warden. The general (I guess thats what he is.) walked over to him and stopped. They stared eachother down. "I ain't scared of you, pops!"

"You wish to defy us?" He got a gun out and pointed it right in the prisoner's face. He pulled the trigger. The sound of the gunshot made me flinch a little. I saw the prisoner's body fall onto the ground.

"What a good example, Dimitri."

"Get him out of here." The general shouted. Two guards slung back their rifles and dragged the body away. "Do you see that? This is what happens when you defy us. We are not soft here!"

I looked around and saw the others had fear-stricken faces. I don't think anyone wanted to die here.

The general began to examine the others, and how scared they were. He made comments towards the United Federation and how weak we are. To really be honest, I was a little scared too, but not all that much. I know I'll make it out of this Hellhole and live to tell the tale.

He slowly walked by me and looked at my expression. I know I wasn't displaying fear and he noticed and stopped at me. "Are you scared, little jackal?" He asked me and pointed.

"No..." I said.

"I know you are. Just because you have two different eyes and battle scars won't mean your fear is hidden."

I had an impulse to challenge this guy, but I already know of the consequences. "I'm not afraid of you." I said and shook my head. He laughed an evil laugh and crouched down to my eye level.

"If you say you are not scared, then prove it and play!" He said and stood back up. "Step out." I hope I didn't just completely fuck myself. I took a few steps away from the crowd. To my surprise, he uncuffed me and took his gun out. Oh no...

It was a fancy revolver, but I kept looking up and flicked the cylinder open and took the bullets out, but caught one. He crouched down and offered me the gun. I took it and examined it.

I could just try and shoot him and escape, but that was an idiot move.

"Go on." Dimitri told me from the side. Well, this was the point of no return. I had no choice but to play some Shamarian roulette. Look what you've done, retard. I told myself.

I put the bullet in the cylinder, closed my eyes and spun it before pressing it back. I hesitated for a moment before pressing the barrel right to my forehead.

Reluctantly, I pulled the trigger.

And I heard a click. I opened my eyes and looked around to see I was very much alive. I looked up and saw the general person there with surprise on his face now. He gave a look to the warden.

"It seems he survived and had no fear of playing. My initial thoughts of all Federates have changed. "Grab his jumpsuit and take him to a cell, excuse him of work for a few hours. Make sure it is a nice cell, as well."

They cuffed me again and of the guards escorted me into one of the other buildings which happened to be a huge cell block. I looked around and saw some prisoners in their cells.

He took me to the second level and all the way to the back corner cell. He opened it, uncuffed me and threw me inside and shut the bars. "Your jumpsuit will arive soon." The guard told me.

I got up and looked around the cell. It was a clean cell with a bunkbed and all the regular stuff you'd expect, but with one exception; it had a shower built into it which was surprising. At least I won't have to worry about dropping the soap here.

The sound of the bars behind me opening scared me a little. I looked behind and some clothes were thrown on my face. The bars closed back up.

I took the shirt of my face and inspected it. It was a white colour with my prisoner ID on the front. I also got pants and some cheap boots. Typical.

At least something to keep me warm.

I threw them on quickly seeing how I didn't have much of a choice. I sat down on the bottom bunk and thought about what the Hell just happened.

Pretty close call for Infy, eh? Reviews please.
